Window Repair

A window is a machine of about a dozen parts — and the part that failed has a catalog price, from $115. We repair the windows other companies only offer to replace.

What We Fix

Window Repair: What We Fix

Window balancer being replaced in the side jamb of a double-hung window

Balancer Repair

The window that slams shut like a guillotine the second you let go isn't broken — its balancers are. They're the hidden springs inside the side jambs that carry the sash's weight, and when they die the sash free-falls. New balancers are $175 per window, installed in one visit, and the window holds itself open again like the day it was made.

Casement window crank operator repaired at the bottom rail

Crank / Operator Repair

A casement crank that spins without moving the window means the operator's gears are stripped — the window itself is fine. We swap the operator ($275), match the handle, and the pane swings out smoothly again. No prying, no 'just leave it shut forever', and definitely no new window.

Window sash lock replaced and aligned to latch securely

Locks & Latches

A window that won't lock is a security hole disguised as an annoyance. Usually the latch is worn or the keeper has drifted out of line — a $115 fix, the cheapest line in our catalog. We align, replace and cycle it until it clicks shut the way a lock should.

Fresh weatherstripping seated into a window sash channel

Weatherstripping

That thin cold current along the sash on a winter evening is flattened weatherstripping — the seals wore out, not the window. Professional strips are profile-matched to your window's channel and seat mechanically, $115 per window with a three-window minimum. The peel-and-stick foam from the store lasts a season; these seal like factory.

Window screen rescreened with new mesh on a workbench

Window Screen Repair

Torn, sagging or sun-brittled window screens rescreen for $100 with new mesh and spline set under even tension; bent frames replace new for $150. Screens ride along on any window visit — no separate trip needed.

Rotted window sill wood cut out clean for a milled replacement piece

Rotten Wood

Soft, flaking wood at a sill is the one window problem with a clock on it. We cut the decay out to sound wood and splice in a piece milled from laminated lumber to the original profile — from $375. Filler over rot is a one-year cosmetic; we don't sell it.

Know What Your Window Is Made Of, and Repairs Stop Being Scary

Behind the glass, every window is the same short parts list: a sealed glass unit doing the insulating, balancers or a crank doing the lifting, a latch doing the locking, weatherstripping doing the sealing, and a wood or vinyl shell holding it all. Each part fails on its own schedule — and each swaps on its own, for its own price. That one sentence is most of what the replacement industry hopes you never learn.

  • swaps from $198

    Sealed glass unit — fogs or cracks

  • $115–$275

    Balancers, cranks, latches — the moving parts

  • $115

    Weatherstripping — the sealing part

  • rebuilt from $375

    Sills and sashes — the wooden parts

The Repair-First Rule

We Quote the Part Before Anyone Mentions the Whole Window

Our crews carry the common parts for every major brand sold over the last forty years — and the uncommon ones we fabricate or source. The visit starts with a diagnosis and a written per-part price. If a window is genuinely past its parts (frame rot through the structure, an opening racked out of square), you'll hear that too, with the replacement math beside the repair math on one sheet.

  • Every brand welcome — including discontinued ones

  • Written per-part prices before any work starts

  • Honest escalation to replacement when the frame is truly done

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

I had a fantastic experience with WowFix. They repaired my existing windows by cutting out rotted sashes, fashioning new ones on-site, and splicing them in. They look and work absolutely good as new!

WowFix is a great company for repairs on doors and windows. I had two rotten double-door frames that they rebuilt. They communicate well and the pricing was fair.

Window Repair — FAQ

Run the numbers: the average repair on our catalog lands between $115 and $375, and a quality replacement window starts around $1,000 installed. A repaired part performs like new — a balancer doesn't know how old its window is. Replacement wins only when the frame itself is failing, and that's a minority of the windows we're called about. The rest is margin, not necessity.
Before We Arrive

How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit

  1. 1

    Photograph each problem window in daylight

    Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.

  2. 2

    Note what each window is doing wrong

    Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.

  3. 3

    Clear about three feet in front of each window

    Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.

  4. 4

    Find any window brand or paperwork

    If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.

  5. 5

    Make sure we can reach the windows outside

    Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.
